Jacko chemically castrated by dad, claims killer medic

- BY CHRISTOPHE­R BUCKTIN US Editor

THE doctor jailed for Michael Jackson’s involuntar­y manslaught­er claims the King of Pop was “chemically castrated” by his abusive father.

Conrad Murray, 65, blasted Joe Jackson, who died aged 89 last month, as “cruel” and “one of the worst fathers in history”.

Murray said: “The fact Michael was chemically castrated to maintain his high-pitched voice is beyond words.” Joe was said to have had his son injected with hormones at 12 to cure acne and stop his voice deepening. Murray got four years’ jail in 2011 over Jacko’s overdose death in 2009 at the age of 50, but was freed after two years. Michael said in 1993 his dad would “tear you up, really get you” with a belt if he or his brothers got things wrong. But since Joe’s death, Michael’s son Prince defended him saying: “He raised these kids right.”
